The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Friday carrying out large-scale airstrikes targeting sites in Tehran, with more than 60 fighter jets as part of a military operation conducted Thursday evening.

In a post on X, the IDF said the strikes targeted several industrial sites believed to be involved in missile production, noting that these facilities are among the core centers affiliated with Iran’s Ministry of Defense.
